PopeWatch: Paycuts

What about zero:

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — With the need to reduce costs and make sure employees are not laid off, Pope Francis has approved pay cuts for cardinals, clergy, religious and upper management officials who work in the Roman Curia and other Vatican entities.

The pay cuts will go into effect starting April 1, according to a papal decree issued March 24.

Because “the financial management of the Holy See” has seen deficits each year and because revenues have been substantially reduced with the COVID-19 pandemic, “a sustainable economic future requires today, among other decisions, adopting measures that also concern employee salaries,” the papal decree said.

Isn’t that precious?  Get back to PopeWatch when the gang at the Vatican also decides to eliminate bribes and slushfunds.  This is all Kabuki theater, and bad Kabuki theater at that.
